So it's time again for another post for the lifestyle blog circle that I'm participating in. I'm so loving this project because it's forcing me to get out my camera and document my life. Which is honestly why I ever picked up a camera in the first place . . . so it's nice to get back to shooting those that I love the most.
So here is just a smattering of what our evenings look like. Nothing posed, nothing really planned . . . . no art prints here. Just my life with my family.
We live in a beautiful mountain community nestled in the trees (a rarity in deserty Utah, haha). We've been loving the balmy fall weather we've been having and are trying to soak up every last warm ray before winter comes. So every evening finds us outside playing pirates in trees or taking a walk up to the local park for a game of frisbee.
Pirates at sunset with stick swords . . . .
And family walks up to park . . . you gotta love the deer . . . they're ridiculously tame around here and everywhere. I think that I see deer more than I see birds, honestly.
And he's off . . . . my three-year-old just can't seem to stick with us . . . he's either completely ahead or utterly behind. This night he chose ahead . . .
And I love that the fall leaves are just beginning . . . This is a composite of several images and yes, you can barely see my little guy still running in the left hand corner, haha.
My older children being good and NOT running away . . .
This park has to have about the best view of any park in the state, honestly . . .
A little time-out for running off while the older kids play frisbee . . . Why do all our family activities involve him being in time-out at some point?
And here's the last shot right before she fell (she's fine) but the sobbing meant putting down the camera and tending to the wounded . . . again, just a typical evening, haha.
Whew! So there you have it . . . now hop on over and see what Brenda Acuncius | Dallas/Ft. Worth Child Photographer has done for her challenge this month!
